A couple of weeks ago I posted a painting that I had begun. Last night I decided to get back to work on it. The triptych (pronounced:[trip-tik] NOUN Fine Arts. a set of three panels or compartments side by side, bearing pictures, carvings, or the like.) was my very hip wife’s idea.

After writing my introduction tutorial to Erin Catto’s Box2D AS3 physics engine port, I found out that I was writing about version 1.4.3. Well a new version (v 2.0.0) is set to come out within the next few weeks, so I thought that I would put off any more tutorials on Box2DFlash till I find out what has changed.

Until then, I’ve found a bunch of fun games made with the Box2D engine and I thought I would share them with you.

This week, instead of doing some sort of graffiti tip, demonstration, or overview; I wanted to let you see the beauty of the art being “drawn out.” That way, you can see what writing graffiti is like. I didn’t have time do a piece, tape it and get VQ to edit it because we’re flying to England tonight. So, I started looking for some good footage online.

In the beginning of my search to find just the right video, I had no idea that a one of this caliber was out there. In it, you’ll see the technicality of graffiti, all the while getting the Truth (his name is Jesus…). Check it out, and pay special attention to how the writers paint over and re-use sections that were previously painted. It’s solid. And props to the GG Crew for their impressive and blessed work.

I’m going to talk about how to build a simple 4 function calculator using static variables and meathods in Flash ActionScript 3.0. This is my first tutorial, so if you have questions or comments, I would appreciate them and will do what I can.

For quite some time now, Reid Rossi has been writing a hilarious off the wall blog called Ricky Spaniel’s Captain’s Log (full disclosure: Reid is VQ’s littlest brother). What first started as an outlet for the boy wunderkind to improve his reading and writing skills has become a really entertaining look into the mind of a crazy little eleven year old.

Today marks a tremendous milestone for the internet. Today, for the first time ever, Ricky Spaniel’s Captain’s Log releases a web video. The first video is an introduction to the man behind the blog. It is about a half hour of interview footage condensed down to it’s key points, and most touching moments.

Today we launch our new blog lineup. In honor of this august occasion, we’re also releasing a little megaphone vector. We’ve been giving you these free resources for quite some time, and now we’re asking for something in return (with great power comes great responsibility you know). We’re asking you to do a composition using the ClickPop vectors themed around “ClickPopHello.” Sorry, there’s no prize for this one other than the warm, fuzzy feeling you will get knowing that you made us smile. Head on over to the ClickPopMedia Flickr group and join in.

Back to our new lineup:

• Paul is going to take Mondays and be blogging about actionscript, things, and stuff.
• Sean will write on Tuesdays about programming, robots, and DIY.
• Weese has Wednesdays, and he’ll be writing about graffiti, painting, and the like.
• VQ is on Thursdays. He’s writing about illustration, and giving out vectors, brushes, and things. Just like Santa Claus.
• Friday we have a special treat. Ricky Spaniel will be doing a video blog especially for us.
• We have some cool stuff planned for Saturday and Sunday, but you’ll have to wait a little for that. Remember, patience is a virtue.

Update:

One of our friends from DeviantArt sent us a pretty funny comment:

“Of course, you will know when I use one of your vectors By the way, I’ve watched your video and I laughed a lot when the guy goes crazy “
